The spineless al Qaeda-affiliated Islamic terrorists in Chechnya and surrounding areas in Russia are very adept at recruiting women to go blow themselves up for the cause of allah....actually, it's because the men are too chicken to actually put themselves in that position.

And Russia needs this like they need another revolution with the Olympic Games approaching and now train stations are blowing up.

MOSCOW: A female suicide bomber killed 14 people Sunday when she blew herself up at the main train station in the southern city of Volgograd, raising concerns about security in Russia just six weeks before the Sochi Olympic Games.

The unidentified woman set off her charge after being stopped by a police officer at the metal detectors at the entrance to the station while it was packed with people travelling to celebrate the New Year, regional officials said.

Footage of the blast captured by a nearby camera showed a huge fireball blow out the front doors and a row of windows from the grey stone three-story building, before huge billows of smoke poured out as people scattered along the street.

Russia's Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said officials had launched an inquiry into a suspected “act of terror”.

“A suicide bomber who was approaching a metal detector saw a law enforcement official and, after growing nervous, set off an explosive device,”Markin said in televised comments.

Officials said at least 34 people were injured by the blast that had the explosive equivalent of more than 10 kilogrammes (16 pounds) of TNT. It was the deadliest attack in Russia for almost three years.

The police officer who spotted the woman died in the attack while several others who were stationed at the metal detectors were wounded by the blast.

State television said their actions prevented “hundreds” from being killed.

The lifenews.ru website meanwhile posted a picture of what it said was the head of the young female bomber lying amid a pile of debris with her long brown hair spread across the floor.

“Some people started running and others were thrown back by the wave of the blast,” she said.

“It was very scary.” Volgograd Mayor Irina Guseva vowed on Vesti 24 television: “We will not allow panic to grip this city.”

Olympic security fears

The city of Volgograd, known as Stalingrad in the Soviet era, was already attacked in October by a female suicide bomber with links to Islamists fighting federal forces in the nearby volatile North Caucasus.

The October 21 strike killed six people aboard a crowded bus and immediately raised security fears ahead of the February 7-23 Winter Games in Sochi.

The Black Sea city lies 690 kilometres (425 miles) southwest of Volgograd and in direct proximity to the violence ravaging daily in North Caucasus regions such as Dagestan and Chechnya.

Militants are seeking to impose an Islamist state throughout Russia's North Caucasus. Their leader Doku Umarov has ordered rebels to target civilians outside the region and disrupt the Olympic Games.

President Vladimir Putin staked his personal reputation on the Games' success by lobbying for Sochi's candidacy before the International Olympic Committee and then spending more than $50 billion (36 billion euros) for the event.

The Kremlin said Putin was “immediately” informed of the attack.

“The president is receiving reports as the events develop and as new information comes in, first of all, this concerns the number of people injured and killed,” Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian state television.

Militant attacks have become part of daily life in the mainly Muslim Northern Caucasus but the Volgograd blast will be a particular concern to the authorities as the bomber struck a city of over one million in the Russian heartland.

The Volgograd attack is deadliest in Russia since the suicide bombing on Moscow's Domodedovo airport in January 2011 that killed 37.

'Security stepped up'

Russia's interior ministry said separately that it was immediately stepping up security at all the nation's main train stations and airports.

Russian authorities have repeatedly vowed to take the highest security precautions in Sochi. There have been few indications to date of foreign sports fans cancelling their attendance out of security fears.

Female suicide bombers are often referred to in Russia as “black widows” women who seek to avenge the deaths of their family members in North Caucasus fighting by targeting Russian civilians.

Female suicide bombers set off blasts at two Moscow metro stations in March 2010 that killed more than 35 people.

So-called black widows were also responsible for killing more than 90 people when they took down two passenger jets that took off from a Moscow airport within minutes of each other in 2004.

Not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists have been Muslim. Seems teh supply of teh really stup[id people to blow them selves up is inexhaustible. How do we stop this. Chechnya is clearly the hotbed of terror groups and radicalism. Moscow usually does not fuck around. T Hey are in effect a blunt tool they use to hammer their foes, unlike America which embraces terror groups like Obama does, and then pussy foots around with terror groups. I can see Russia putting the hurt on the Chechen for this. Seems teh only thing that works is killing them outright, as reason does not work because they are driven by their religion of peace to do these things.

You will see our response. And so will that odious vermin Doku Umarov. Everytime he says he will no longer target civilians he reneges on the deal. Why? Because he can't hit military targets. So he goes back to soft target hits. It clearly shows the operational weakness of his so-called "Caucasus Emirate."

Umarov is masking the clear military weakness his group has. He's trying to stay relevant in the eyes of global jihadists.

It's not that hard to send a black widow shahidka in a crowded train station, especially in Southern Russia. It's a vast country. But let's see him take territory and hold it. Nah! Nothing. He's holed up in some forest like a dog, suffering from arthritis. Him and his Emirs; Aslambek, Tarkhan, and others, are going to get wiped out. That's a promise.

Your solution Vlad is this. Find them, Kill them. Ask No quarter, give no quarter. Small unit tactics with massive firepower on tap to these units if and when needed. I see Russia wiping out whole towns to finally stop these terrorists. It will be interesting to see how Russia handles this problem as compared to teh great appeaser Obama
